Help for men

Men, including gay, bisexual and transgender men, can also experience violence including domestic abuse. Relationship violence is never the fault of the victim and it is never ok no matter what the circumstances. If you are a man (or if you know a man) who is experiencing violence there are people who you can talk to and who can help keep you safe:

  • Fearless domestic abuse service for 16+ year olds of all races, religions, beliefs, abilities, gender identities, sexes or sexual orientation - 0131 624 7266
  • Men's Advice Line - 0808 801 0327 (www.mensadviceline.org.uk)
  • Abused Men in Scotland - 0131 447 7449 (www.amis.org.uk)
